The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down what’s happening at Costeño Beach.
We’re starting slow. The first surf worth mentioning is Sunday afternoon, September 6th, but it’s sketchy with a thunderstorm risk. The water’s 84°F, about average for the season.
The week picks up nicely on Monday, September 7th. Monday morning delivers a 4ft NE swell with an 8-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is moderate (179). The swell direction is from the northeast, which is exactly what this break likes. It’s clean, but nothing special.
The real winner is Sunday, September 13th. The morning brings a 7ft NE swell, with a strong energy reading of 624. The wind is glassy. For a beginner spot, 7ft is big — you’ll want some experience under your belt. The afternoon drops to 7ft, still glassy, still very good. The swell is short-period (8 seconds), so it’s a punchy windswell, not a long groundswell, but the consistency is solid. Crowds are sometimes a factor, so expect a few others in the water.
The second week is a mixed bag. Saturday, September 19th afternoon is clean with a 5ft NE swell and cross-offshore wind, moderate energy (227). Sunday the 20th morning is glassy with 4ft, but weaker (150). After that, it fades out through the 21st with poor conditions and small swell.
The clear standout is the 13th of September. The glassy wind, the solid swell, and the consistent waves make it the best bet. Everything else is just waiting for that day.
Rusty signing off.

Information about the Costeño Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Costeño Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Costeño Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Costeño Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Costeño Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Costeño Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
